Help Moogles In Need!

Located in Southern San d’Oria, the Holiday Giver is trying to get some gifts together for the Moogles. Speak to the Holiday Giver to find out what he needs and bring it back to him.

This is repeatable every 2 hours.

This grants a varying amount of Holiday Cheer; depending on the challenge to acquire the item.

The Christmas Carol

Cheer up Ebenezer, located in Bastok Markets, and get him ready for the holiday season by helping get those snivvling workers off his back and getting rid of those pesky ghosts.

Each phase of this on-going storyline will grant the player some Holiday Cheer and unlock additional holiday activities.

Unlocks

Each unlock has unique requirements and timers associated with it, but must be unlocked by completing the Christmas Carol main questline.

Holiday Gift Giver

Deliver gifts to children in Southern San d’Oria, Bastok Markets, and Windurst Waters (unlocks in quest #3). These kids have a sweet tooth, but if they get too much candy, they’ll stop accepting it for a while. They’re also leery of strangers, but a shiny red hat might warm them up to you.

Stop the Grinch

Stop the Grinch and save Ebenezer’s heart from hating the holiday season (unlocks in quest #6). This BCNM is repeatable every 8 hours and requires an item to enter (revelaed in the Christmas Carol questline).

Gift Seller Shoppe

The Gift Seller shoppe is located in Southern San d’Oria near the Holiday Giver. As players accumulate Holiday Cheer, more items will be available from the Gift Seller and prices will be reduced. Some items are required for the unique synergy crafts.

Stop the Grinch - BCNM

Don’t let the holidays be ruined by the Grinch! Here’s your chance to stop him!

To participate in the BCNM, players must complete the final quest in the Christmas Carol questline for entry. Players will learn the required trade item as part of the Christmas Carol questline.

Trade the required item to the Wind Pillar for entry at Bearclaw Pinnacle (J-9 entry of Uleguerand Range).

Twinkling Treants

The Twinkling Treants are sturdy holiday trees that will drop buffs and gift boxes as you hit them. If you manage to defeat one, players will earn a special prize–each region has a unique prize.

Recommended Level: 10

Players can ENGAGE and fight as early as level 1; however, they alone may not have the power to significantly shake the trees. It’s highly recommended that groups engage these.

Locations:

East/West Ronfaure

North/South Gustaberg

East/West Sarutabaruta

The treants also react differently if they are constantly pummeled with weaponskills, torched with magic, or critically hit.

The Holiday Crafters - Daily Crafting Quest

Looking to help fill those presents under the tree? Help out the crafters and earn Holiday Cheer! Speak to each of the crafting NPCs at the !craft spot in Abdhaljs Isle-Purgonorgo to get started.

Speak to the crafting vendor of your choice to be given a crafting task. The requested item will be based off of your current rank. Higher ranked items will provide better rewards on turn in.

You’ll need to be a craftsman or higher in the craft to participate. Each craft is independent too–so having more crafts capable of participating gives players more opportunities to earn Holiday Cheer! Players can repeat the requests every 20 hours per crafting discipline.

Seasonal Synergy Crafting

New seasonal synergy recipes have been added. See the full list on the Members Portal.

Holiday Cheer Bonuses

Acquiring Holiday Cheer allows players to acquire buffs that affects the player no matter what job or level they are. These buffs will remain active for the duration of the Winter Celebration event.
